You’re in the right place, based on your answers, this programme is designed for someone like you.

How to talk to your GP about getting a referral

If you think the programme could be right for you, the next step is to speak to your GP practice.

You may find it helpful to explain:

When you were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes
Any weight loss or lifestyle changes you’ve tried before
Any additional conditions or symptoms you feel are linked to your weight
Why you are interested in the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission programme and ask whether you meet the criteria for referral

Here’s an example of how you could start the conversation with your GP:

“I’d like to be referred to the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission programme. It’s delivered by Xyla here in Northamptonshire. I’ve checked the eligibility criteria online and I think I meet them. Could you put the referral in for me?”

If this is the case, show this page or the previous page to give them more information. Or alternatively, give them the link to our main T2DR page: https://xylaservices.com/our-services/health-and-wellbeing/diabetes/diabetes-remission/.

What happens once I’ve been referred?

Once your GP has completed your referral:

You will receive a welcome email/letter

This will tell you more about the programme.

You will be contacted by the programme provider (Xyla)

This will be to arrange an initial assessment, talk through the programme in more detail and discuss whether the Total Diet Replacement phase is suitable for you.

If suitable, we will book you for your future sessions

The sessions will be with trained diabetes practitioners. You will be supported throughout, working with your practitioners to help make changes that are realistic and sustainable over the 12-month period.
